Gina Lingnofski

Salutations from 8th grade ELA! I am Mrs. Gina Lingnofski. I began teaching in Freedom in 2003. I graduated from St. Norbert College in 2002 with a major in English, a minor in English as a Second Language, and Secondary Education Certification. In 2006, I received my Reading Teacher License from Cardinal Stritch University. As of 2011, I earned my Masters of Science in Education-Counseling degree. I believe education is a lifelong journey and will experience this opportunity along with my students.

My strengths and passions include both reading and writing. I hope for my students to join me in this belief. When I have free time, I spend it with my family. I also enjoy reading, scrapbooking, and traveling. Besides teaching, I am currently a Student Council advisor. I am looking forward to a pleasant year. Thanks for all you do to assist your child throughout the year; I greatly appreciate it.

Below is what our daily schedule looks like. If you would need or want to get ahold of me for any reason the best times to do so are during the student encore times. Using E-mail is the fastest way to get in contact with me and will result in the quickest response; otherwise, a phone call is always accepted.

An updated version of the schedule can be accessed through the following link:

Another helpful website to assist students is Quizlet. Click Here to access the site. (You can create a free account, but no username or password are required. Search under "FMS Grade 8 ELA" for flashcards as a study reference.)
